eastenders - bizarre and shit

[kyser_soze]

There was a shot of a plate of bacon and beans for about 30 seconds last nigght, to say nothing of several "scenes" essentially consisting of actors walking from A to B, with no dialogue whatsoever...

Very Eastern European arthouse cinema.

Very Eastern European arthouse cinema.

I don't think it's deliberate, however. More "what the fuck are we going to fill thirty minutes with"?

They totally trashed poor Charlie leaving the square - and why didn't he leave in his own cab??

 

[Griff]

Yeah, Darren holding that plate in cafe was just bizarre. WTF?

 

[Pip]

And I FUCKING HATE WHEN THEY PLAY THE POIGNANT THEME

 

[Iguana]

I don't watch EE but I almost want to in order to see the bizarre filler scenes.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Maybe the dialogue between dopey whatshername and the new girl is their way of introducing new girl as well as filling. Maybe she's really going to end up with Tamwar

 

[Hellsbells]

is anyone going to tell me what happened last night...? anything of significance?

 

[Pip]

After Ronnie gave Kat her baby, Kat thrust it back, and after some wailing and blah blah Charlie got on a tube, which as we all know means he'll never be seen again.

 

[Hellsbells]

So kat thinks Ronnie's gone mad then? The baby swap thing hasn't been twigged yet?

 

[strung out]

nope, apparently the baby looking just like tommy, one of the babies having a club foot and not the other and ronnie trying to give the baby back still hasn't made people twig

 

[Pip]

Not yet, expecting something stupid again tonight though

 

[Griff]

3 Minutre close up of Darren shaving.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Well that was a load of shite

 

[Pip]

Ooh, didn't need to see that.

Is it true EE poached writers from Hollyoaks to spice it up and that's why it's gone downhill? Hope they sack the cunts if it is.

 

[zoooo]

They were so desperate they let Tracey talk!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

They were so desperate they let Tracey talk!

Yeah, but they do often let her speak, but it's only one word or one syllable

 

[zoooo]

Hee, yeah. It felt like about 10 minutes today.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Hee, yeah. It felt like about 10 minutes today.

They've got Corrie's star writer!

 

[Pip]

WHAT!? I call sabotage.

 

[1927]

I posted some time ago that finances seem to be an irrelevance on EE and people acquire and lose money in the blink of an eye. But can someone please explain to me how Phil can afford to buy a night club and how Roxy has spunked £3M in 12 months with fuck all to show for it?

 

[magneze]

Phil stole it.

 

[Pip]

He only stole £20k of it, she spent the rest on Mai Tais with Christian.

 

[1927]

Phil stole it.

All £3million!!!!!

 

[1927]

He wouldnt have bought a night club for £20k tho would he, and hasnt he already used it to buy a house?

 

[Pip]

I think he used it to sent up his criminal empire

 

[FoxyRed]

Hes been ringing cars. Oh and selling knocked off jewelerry.

 

[London_Calling]

I don't watch this except I had 20 mins. between something else on Sunday but it seems one person's "filling in" is anothers counterpoint. Fwiw the boy between the two girls (Poppy was one?) seemed to be the focus, though I'm sure the girls were also part of that.

I knew a guy once who wrote a few episodes of this - surprisingly well paid if you have the various disciplines required, even if you don't always get it, after a hundred script meetings about every aspect of every script, it's all there for a reason. They really do have enough characters and ideas to fill the space.

 

[Orang Utan]

They've got Corrie's star writer!

just catching up with last week's now and the comic scenes in the pub with those two lasses is well corrie.
who are they? are they related to anyone in the square?

 

[zoooo]

The second girl has never been seen before (I think), but the main one is the daughter of a woman Max was dating and the girlfriend of another main character. She's in it a lot.
